It's absurd that this band has been placed on a userspace instead of a main article. --Fr4gm0nk3y 21:01, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- It was because the article was deleted one year ago, and they did not want to relist it, unless a user article containing enough "facts" was created. Apparently, it was the case, it was just created in the main space (see here. Hervegirod 14:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Interesting to note that We Came With Broken Teeth have a song named "Job for a Brokeback"
Interesting fact. . .my brother knows the singer of psyopus (another metal blade band) and according to him the only reason metal blade signed job for a cowboy is because they knew that they would make a lot of money from the record sales...and everyone at metal blade actually hates them. fun, no?
Hmmm...Progressive Elements? I haven't heard them to progressive and I hear no progressive elements in their music (I own the CD). Do you refer to their lack of traditional song structure (ex. Verse, Chorus, ECT)? SuperRadX 18:56, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Everyone on Wikipedia seems to want to label every band progressive, I don't get it. I'm not especially learned about music, but I really don't hear it in their music. Can anyone make the poin that they are? Col.clawhammer 22:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I know what you mean but it is hard to define the progressive genre, I understand what a progressive band is and what it sounds like but a lot of bands branch out and say they are progressive for the smallest reasons so its hard to determine nowadays --AtTheGatesOfBodom 20:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree, there's nothing progressive about this band, they're just doing the same thing as every other trendy band, trying to be both br00tal and trying to appeal to your everyday scenekid.
Is it just me or does their new stuff sound like Cannibal Corpse?
- More like Decapitated, and other tech/brutal death. Their hardcore influence is almost gone completely, focusing more on death grunts and technical and (sometimes) melodic guitar rifts. They're now a completely different band, IMO, and they're new stuff lacks the breakdowns that made their style unique. It's a step in the right direction for the band.
It also seems that their lyrics deal with satanism, politics, the Antichrist, and demons >.> Gas.mask.man 01:49, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Their lyrics don't necessarily deal with satanism, politics, or demons, but rather with the rise of the antichrist as prophesied in the book of revalations in the Bible. Every song on their new album Genesis is about this apocalyptic era. Metaridley540 12:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Whoever the hell is putting "progressive death metal" in their genre thing is gonna be smacked in the face. There is nothing progressive about this band, theyre a re-hash of everything death metal has been in the last 15 years.
I saw them support Megadeth here in Manchester, UK, yesterday and they got a pretty frosty reception (and weren't very good in my opinion either). Apparently they got booed off stage somewhere else in the country. (86.155.219.196 (talk) 13:05, 24 February 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Genesis
Doesn't their latest release seem to have somewhat of a deathgrind sound? I don't think there are enough solos for it to be labeled as brutal death metal.--Zepboyo 04:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
I guess I know what you are saying but they are more mainstream so I think because a lot of more uneducated metal heads know them, they are labeled just death metal or brutal death metal. But I do agree with you. --AtTheGatesOfBodom 20:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I hear little bits and pieces of a lot of styles in their work, especially from album to album; I think the current description (deathcore/ death metal) does a good job describing their overall sound, though it's really hard to pin down an encompassing style for bands like these without labeling a dozen genres. --Col.clawhammer 09:32, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
right, well, ask some guys who listen entirely to metal if their brutal death metal, or technical or even death metal, and they will reply with an angry slurr of drunken words that, translated roughly into english means "job for a cowboy is fucking shit, and not at all death metal" their style is clearly hardcore, but with death metal inspired vocals --Anonymous 04:20, 23 Dec 2007 (UTC)

It's clear; death metal can stay Emmaneul (Talk) 18:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
No, it's not death metal. Do any of these people even listen to death metal? XXMurderSoulXx (talk) 00:34, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with XXMurderSoulXx. Plus, most of those are unreliable sources. You can't just Google "Job for a Cowboy" and use that. -- FatalError (t|c) 18:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
